Chapters in this new release include The genetic and neuronal basis of animal architecture, Adopting whole-brain computational modeling to investigate neurophysiological features, Dynamical and robotic modeling of brain motivational and decision-making systems, Attention and consciousness are one and the same, Hierarchical processing in the brain: Insights from predictive coding and its neural signatures, and much more.

Additional sections cover Scratching the itch of "not knowing": Non-instrumental information-seeking in humans, How do emotions move us? Emotional influence can occur by changing perceivers’ feelings, bodies, and inferences, Cultural bodybuilding: the embodied influence of culture on perception and action, and Beyond dyadic interaction and shared experience: rethinking social connections.
